Hai,
2 Value string keys are for SAP internal usage. It is just a pointer to the transaction event key which is necessary for automatic account
determination.

Movement types are linked to transaction keys via valuation string in OMWN T-code. The R/3 System automatically determines the value
string assigned to a speci c transaction.

It depends partly on entered parameters manually and partly on parameters derived internally by the system.
The value string contains all posting transactions that are possible for a certain transaction.

The program decides which of these posting transactions lead to G/L account postings in individual cases.

You cannot de ne this in Customizing.

Value string WE01, for the goods receipt for a purchase order into stock, contains transactions BSX and WRX.
WE01: BSX, WRX, PRD, KDM, EIN, EKG, BSV, FRL, FRN, BSX, UMB.

WA14: BSX, PRD, BSX, UMB WA01: BSX, GBB, PRD, BSX, And UMB

Value string RE05 contains transactions BSX and UMB.

In the standard system, value string WE01 is assigned to goods receipts (and also cancellations and return deliveries) for Standard and
Subcontracting purchase order items without account assignment concerning valuated material into stock.

In the case of (valuated) goods receipts for purchase order items not subject to account assignment, post the items to a stock account using
the transaction key BSX and make an o setting entry to a GR/IR clearing account.

A price di erence posting (transaction key PRD) is only used if the valuated material is subject to standard price control and if the order price
(or invoice price) is di erent from the standard price. Transaction key KDM is required in Inventory Management for purchase orders in foreign
currencies because of di erences in exchange rates between goods receipts and invoice receipts, unless the material can not be debited or
credited because it is subject to standard price control.

The transaction keys EIN and EKG (and possibly FRE – see account determination for delivery costs) are only used in company codes where
purchase account management is active (as required in France and Belgium for example).

The transaction keys BSV, FRL, and FRN are only used for the Subcontracting item category. Value string WA14 is de ned for deliveries without
charge (movement type 511).
In the standard system, value string WA01 is assigned to goods issues and other goods receipts. The R/3 System uses an additional
in uencing factor, account grouping, to di erentiate further between the various movements during account determination.
at company code level chart o accounts will be assigned, at valuation area level valuation grouping code has to assign

For the material if Qty and value updation is activated at the time only system goto nd the value string,

when you do the goods receipt or invoices at the time system nd the value string based on the value string system will post to the GL
accounts

Hi Vabhaw ,
0 Basic meaning of String is " Way or Sequence of process"

Here the movement type and G/L account is connected through valuation string e.g. WE06

Thus the system nds the correct path by which valuation data to be hitted according to the respective transaction.

Hope u will understand.
